Technology continued to advance in our world but for the longest time it seemed entertainment had stopped. Companies had managed to make cars that could drive themselves and robots that could easily do any function we wanted for them. With all of that how were video games still stuck on such an old console?

Gamers alike hoped for the gaming industry to siege all this new technology and finally give them what they all wanted. Virtual reality. The idea of being able to escape your own crappy world to another was just something that no gamer could ignore, it became such a bit want that anime, movies and even books started to implement the idea more. Why couldn’t we have an actual virtual reality?

Of course there were attempts, though they weren’t quite right. A headset that let you see in virtual reality but you still used a controller. Good, but nauseating. Next came an odd machine that you stepped onto like the old school DDR machines and attempted to put another headpiece on, but it wasn’t real enough. A couple companies attempted the idea of feeling what was happening in the game, but there were many disasters, thank goodness they tested on animals first!
Years had passed and finally a rumor began to spread. Someone had done it. Someone had perfected virtual reality. The rumor spread like wildfire across the internet, media and any other outlet available, but no one knew where it started or what company was genius enough to finally do it.
Two years passed since that rumor, most people had dropped the idea of it, but on December 1st 2145 all the computers, phones and tvs went out. Anything that was connected through broadcasting was hacked. The screens flicked as if static was occurring, but even everything connected to the internet went black with this weird static.

“Today has been cancelled”

Was the first blocky white words to broadcast across the world.

“Your dreams have been answered.”

An uproar occurred as the government tried to stop the broadcast but nothing was responding.

“Want to know more?

//end transmission”

With that all the screens flickered back to a static screen and flickered to the website stated.

The website was just one picture

After staying on the image for about 2 full minutes it finally flashed.

“12/24/2145”

After that ordeal, the website was heavily watched as slowly the game information was added onto the website. Finally, on Christmas eve, the gamers would have what they wanted. Their escape.
